Each song lifts up the steadfast love and faithfulness of God:
- “This offering of praise is a throne that we raise, so come take your place, King Jesus” (Dwell With Us)
- “Even though I still can’t see it, I know you will make a way” (Here Comes the Breakthrough)
- “For our hurt you give us healing, in the storm you are our peace, broke the chains that held us captive, at the cross we are set free” (Oh How Great the Love of Christ)
Voices from the Gathering
Royal Anthems continues to capture the heart of a generation seeking God across Canada:
- “In Winnipeg, I see so many pockets of youth coming together, starting their own worship nights—not about the show, but about truly seeking the Lord together,” shares Jenny Franz.
- “People are searching for a firm foundation,” reflects Alex Stephen, referencing 2 Timothy 2:13: “If we are faithless, He remains faithful—for He cannot deny Himself.”
- Rex Verzosa adds: “I’ve longed for us to write songs for Canada; to serve Canada with our gifts. God, in His faithfulness, has been planting the same vision in others, and now He’s gathering us together to spread it.”
